JAMB CAPS Shows Admission In Progress (AIP)? What’s Next?

by EDUFEED BRAINS
Published: Updated:

If you have checked your JAMB caps and the status has changed to “Admission In Progress (AIP),” then congratulations to you. But at the same time, we still see students panicking and wondering what to do next.

I met a couple of aspirants like you who have seen Admission in Progress, and they were asking questions like, What do I do after seeing AIP? What’s the next step to take? Am I already admitted or not? Can I go ahead to pay my acceptance fee? And so much more.

Well, just relax, because after reading this article, you will get answers to all those questions. Before we proceed, I will like you to give you a brief explanation of what Admission in Progress is all about so you can have a proper understanding of what will later be discussed in this article.

What Does It Mean When My JAMB CAPS Shows Admission In Progress (AIP)?

When your JAMB cap shows Admission in Progress, it means your school has considered you for admission and has sent your details to JAMB to confirm the authenticity of your admission. Meaning JAMB will have to review your details and check if it meets up with the admission criteria.

They will confirm if all your details are available and are also matching; if they are not, then your admission may be delayed, and most times it will change to “Not Admitted,” but cases like this are very rare. So what happens if your details meet the criteria? This brings us to our second question for this article, which is “What Happens After Seeing Admission in Progress?”

What’s Next After Seeing Admission In Progress (AIP) In Your JAMB Caps?

After seeing AIP in your JAMB caps, the next thing you should expect is admission. When JAMB has confirmed you meet the criteria, they will add your name to the list of admitted candidates.

Once that list is uploaded, then you will receive a message in your JAMB caps saying, “Congratulations, you have been offered provisional admission into…” where you will see an option to accept or reject the admission; of course you will press accept.

Now some of you might want to know how long it takes for the admission in progress to change to admitted? I wrote an article about that recently, so if you are interested, kindly follow the link to read the article.

Can JAMB Caps be In Admission In Progress And Still Not Admitted By The School?

Yes, it’s very possible. But if your cap is showing AIP, then your school will eventually offer you admission, just that it might take longer depending on the university, polytechnic, or college of education.

In fact, for your CAPs to show admission in progress, it means your school has considered you for admission and they have sent your details to JAMB for verification. So don’t be scared; your school and JAMB will eventually offer you admission after seeing AIP.

What Happens If My JAMB Caps Change from Admission in Progress to Not Admitted?

Cases like this are rare, but the truth is that they happen. If your JAMB caps changed from Admission In Progress to Not Admitted, this simply means you didn’t meet up with the criteria and you are not eligible for admission.

Can I Pay Acceptance Fee If My JAMB CAPS Is Still In AIP?

Before you even think of paying the acceptance fee, it means your school has offered you admission already. Since your JAMB caps will eventually change to admitted, I suggest you go ahead and pay the acceptance fee before the deadline given by your school.

So in conclusion, seeing AIP in your JAMB caps is good, as it will eventually change to admitted. If you have any further questions on JAMB caps and also if you are facing any issues, kindly drop them in the comment section, as I will gladly respond to you with the best way to resolve it.

Thank you for your response. We are so sorry about that. When your caps changes from AIP to Not Admitted, it simply JAMB wasn’t able to successfully verify the authenticity of your details.

Good afternoon Sir, my CAPS is showing AIP buh during my DE registration, they uploaded my OLevel results buh 2 subjects were graded wrongly ( eg: Commerce C6 instead of C5), though i don’t need them in the course I want to study buh will it affect my chances of that AIP turning to Admitted?

Reply
EDUFEED BRAINS February 1, 2025 - 3:34 pm

Thank you for your response. Though JAMB is only interested in your 5 core O’Level subject combination but at the same time, they might also compare the results with the original one and if it doesn’t match, it might also hinder your AIP turning to admitted.

like can i know the next step please sir

Reply
EDUFEED BRAINS December 8, 2024 - 4:35 pm

Thank you for your response. Hahaha, That “Omo” you said cracked me up, I must confess. Well, for your caps to change to “AIP,” it means your school has considered you for admission, and it’s left for JAMB to do the necessary verification.

If JAMB has verified it, it will change to Admitted, like explained in the article. So just relax; you don’t have any problem with your subject combination.

And about the delay, is your school admission process still actively on? If no, then I suggest you go through this article that will guide you on what to do if your AIP is taking longer than expected to change to admitted.

How Long It Takes Admission In Progress “AIP” To Turn “Admitted”

And lastly, have you been offered admission on your school portal? If yes, then that is proof that you don’t have any problem with your subject combination. We will gladly be awaiting your response.

EDUFEED BRAINS December 1, 2024 - 10:47 am

Thank you for your response. If your caps changes from AIP to Not Admitted, it simply means they have checked your details and you weren’t eligible. This happens when your details are not matching or you didn’t upload your O’Level results. 
 
If your O’Level results haven’t been uploaded, kindly upload them and hope that your caps change back to AIP.

Godswill November 27, 2024 - 3:58 am

Hello, sir. The name on my JAMB Result is slightly different from the name on my O’level result. This is because the exam officer did not enter my native name completely during WAEC Registration. He entered Uche instead of Uchechukwu. I swore an affidavit which I used for clearance but I did not upload it to JAMB for admission. My admission has been in progress for some days now and I do not know how it will affect my admission status.

Reply
EDUFEED BRAINS November 27, 2024 - 4:55 am

Thank you for your response. Yes, it might affect your admission since O’Level result is an important document needed for JAMB admission, and if they notice a mismatch of details, it might lead to you not getting admission.

Thank you for your response. Having 0 in your JAMB Math doesn’t affect anything. The main thing is your total score, which is 187. And about your AIP, just give it time; it will eventually turn to admitted.

Thanks for your response. No, you can’t do your clearance without your JAMB admission letter. And the only way you can print your JAMB admission letter is when you have been offered admission on your JAMB caps.
 
Just give it time and keep checking your caps; once it changes to admitted, don’t hesitate to print your admission letter and proceed to do your clearance.

EDUFEED BRAINS October 29, 2024 - 11:40 pm

Thank you for your feedback. Kindly note that if your JAMB caps changed from Admission In Progress (AIP) to Not Admitted , it simply means your changes of getting admission is slim. In other words, it means that during the process of JAMB checking the authenticity of your details to see if it meets up with their admission criteria, yours didn’t came out positive which lead to your JAMB caps changing from AIP to not Admitted.

However, cases like this are often as a result of not uploading O’Level results. So I will advise you to go back and check your CAPS to confirm if your O’Level results have been uploaded, and if it hasn’t kindly re upload and wait for it to change back to AIP.
